Quote:JACKSON, Mississippi (AP) -- Young people at two Mississippi reform schools were hogtied, shackled and forced to eat their own vomit, according to a U.S. Justice Department report.

Three administrators were reassigned following the report, a state official said Tuesday. The administrators at Columbia Training School and Oakley Training School, near Raymond, were expected to remain off their regular jobs indefinitely.

Officials with the Mississippi Department of Human Services also conferred Tuesday with state Attorney General Mike Moore and Justice officials about the report, which said the "staff at Oakley and Columbia use excessive force with impunity."

Young people aged 10-17 are sent to the training schools, overseen by DHS, after facing repeated charges for property crimes or mostly low-level offenses.

The report released Monday said suicidal girls at Columbia were sometimes stripped naked and put in isolation in a poorly ventilated "dark room" with only a hole in the floor for a toilet.

Pepper spray was used for punishment when young people did not exercise or perform military drills, according to the report. It said one girl was sprayed after she complained of the heat and had trouble keeping up during exercise.

The report said boys were forced to run around tables for hours with mattresses on their backs.

"Girls are punished in the military field by being forced to run with automobile tires around their bodies or carrying logs," the report said. "Girls reported being forced to eat their own vomit if they throw up from exercising in the hot sun."

The federal report said there was no rehabilitative value to the "cruel and demeaning" exercises.

Justice Department workers also found unsanitary kitchen conditions at Oakley, including mouse droppings and cockroaches.

DHS officials said Tuesday that the agency has made "considerable changes" at the schools since Justice Department staffers' initial visit more than a year ago.

"This is a work in progress. And it's taken over 20 years for the system to be in the state that it's in, and it would not be something we can fix overnight. But I can assure you that we are aggressively looking for answers," DHS Executive Director Thelma Brittain said during a news conference.

Moore said he repeatedly asked Justice officials during Tuesday's meeting for names of young people making abuse claims so he could prosecute employees. He said Justice would not provide the names, saying the report called for systemic changes rather than individual prosecutions.

Moore said DHS had already taken "corrective action" for some problems.

"Some of the rotten eggs, so to speak, are not there anymore," he said.

In Washington, Justice spokesman Jorge Martinez said he could not elaborate on the report because "it is an open matter."

Damon Hewitt, assistant to counsel for the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund in New York, said Mississippi had abdicated its responsibility to educate children in the training schools.

"This is only part of the story of what happens to kids who end up lost in the pipeline from the school house to the jail house," Hewitt said.

--------------------The above is an extract from my fictional novel, "The random postings of Edame".

In the beginning was the word. And man could not handle the word, and the hearing of the word, and he asked God to take away his ears so that he might live in peace without having to hear words which might upset his equinamity or corrupt the unblemished purity of his conscience.

And God, hearing this desperate plea from His creation, wrinkled His mighty brow for a moment and then leaned down toward man, beckoning that he should come close so as to hear all that was about to be revealed to him.

"Fuck you," He whispered, and frowned upon the pathetic supplicant before retreating to His heavens.

Would the person doing the wacking be a large breasted woman wearing leather?

Quote:wingnutx said:Some ppl do talk about it. My friend Donny was raped 60+ times while in jail prior to being arraigned, not even in prison yet. Before he died he was head of 'Stop Prisoner Rape'

That is totally fucked up man. I think prison rape should be treated like a rape on the streets. Do it, and you get 20 more years tacked on to your sentence. If you are in for life, solitary confinement for a decade would work.

My buddy bone,has been in jain like 5 times. He says at night they take 2 black trashbags and blow them up into basketball sized "ballons". Then put them together and in the dark they pretend its a ass, I forgot the name for it. He says he dosent take a shit except on sundays when he skips church and jacks off. Man that nigger is in the pen again! He says the last few days of jain he sung into the sink so it would echo throughout the prison, his favorite band is def leapord. Man o man Id hate to be in jail, I hope the bone is alright.
